Make that three.

I'm in for 5.

Hi Ed,

A couple of thoughts about the listing:

1) If I didn't know from this forum that you had done the luthiering, I would read this as a listing for a modified violin. I do not think the phrase hand built "pirate" violin adequately conveys that this is much more than a stock violin that was later decorated.

2) Link to some sound clips. Would you lay out 600 quid on an instrument you haven't heard?

Just my tuppence, as always.

And, also as always, fyne work there mate. Looks to have been a fun project.

Interesting, but sadly no specific dates: http://spitalfieldslife.com/2012/05/03/the-trade-cards-of-old-london/

Well, we just parcook them in water, then fry them in oil. It seems it is the bigger, bitter roots that are pressed to extract the starch.

Also, this yuca is pronounced yoo-cuh, not yuk-uh!

An aside: raw taro, it turns out, is also toxic raw.

Well, it's hard to find real GAOP rum these days, but every once-in-a-while some nice old rums are available here: http://www.finestandrarest.com/rum.html

Where are all the alcohol experts that used to infest the forum?

We've been out on account a while.

Rifles did not become common until after about the 1740s (they were exceptionally rare prior to that but existed going back to the 1660s (?)).

FWIW: Rifling is known from the mid 15th century.

ROTDLMAO!!! OMG... QM James! I darn near choked to death from laughter over that comment!!! Drinkin' from, not shootin' up. LOL Good one!

Thanks.
